Well lookie here! I had been saying for over a year now that I really needed to change the site around a bit, get a new logo (props to Keara), make the space easier to navigate etc. I thought it was going to be this huge headache, but all it took was a few sweatpant-clad + […]
Vitamins 101 (or a basic guide to vitamins) I think everybody should understand the importance of vitamins in healthy functioning of the body.
